the hencfits thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching, his- 
torical and oihor Prints."

PREFACE. 



As an introduction to " The Speller and De- 
finer^''^ the author has published " The SYiiBOLi- 
CAL Spelling Book, in Two Parts." 

In the lessons for spelling, the rhyming method 
has been adopted, a method which has been proved 
to be beneficial to learners by the experience of 
ages. The several classes of words are more com- 
plete than in any other work of the kind ; so that 
the two parts combined constitute a tolerable rhy- 
ming dictionary. The word which stands at the 
head of each class, is commonly the name of an 
object represented by a cut. This combination of 
vvords and pictures, together with a fair type and a 
tasteful arrangement, render this a most beautiful 
/Spelling-book; a desideratum, surely, with those 
jwho wisshto improve the taste of their children, and 
who are unwilling that they become disgusted with 
books in general, by the uncouth appearance of the 
one in which they commence their literary studies. 
The words are spelled and .pronounced, it is be- 
lieved, according to the best usage of the language. 
No one author, therefore, has been implicitly fol- 
lowed, although Todd's Walker and Johnson has 
been most relied upon. The deviations Irom this 

a2 ""3 ' 



u. 



iv • «>REi^ACE. 



work are found chiefly in such words as honor and 
public. But the friends of hterature need not be 
alarmed at the few deviations from their favorite 
author, whether he be John Walker or Noah Web- 
ster ; since, with the exceptions just mentioned, they 
will be hardly perceived, or but slightly regarded, 
except by the hypercritical. 

In " The Symbolical Spelling BooJc,''^ there are 
553 engravings, a greater number than has ever 
been known in any work of this kind. These exert 
a wonderful influence on the minds of children, and 
are deemed of great importance by the author, as 
well as by those who have made trial of their effi- 
cacy. It must be evident to persons of observation 
and reflection that the intellects of children are 
brought into action, and continued in action, b;' 
objects tangible to the senses, and by them alone. 
In the use, therefore, of these representations, their 
knowledge as well as mental power will be in- 
creased by the same general means ; as pictures, in 
their efiects, are nearly or precisely the same as the 
objects which they represent. This opinion in rela- 
tion to pictures is gaining rapidly on the absurdity 
that such illustrations attract too much attention. 

Nearly one-third of " The Symbolical Spelling 
Book" is occupied by reading lessons, which are so 
arranged that it jvill not be difficult to teach pupils 
the parts of speech as soon as they can read with- 



»; 



PREFACE. 



out much hesitation. The sentences are classed 
throughout the work, and each form of construction 
is repeated successively several times ; so that pupils 
cannot fail of acquiring a distinct knowledge of each 
as it occurs. It is confidently expected that the 
study of these sentences in the process of learning 
to read, will produce accuracy in language with far 
greater certainty than the study of grammar by the 
usual method ; and all who learn to read by these 
lessons will afterwards acquire a knowledge of the 
rules of grammar in less than half the time com- 
monly required. Children who are supplied with "The 
Symbolical SpeUing Book" from the age of two years, 
need seldom go to school to learn to read, provided 
a little parental aid be occasionally given. 

No attempt has been made in this work to explain 
the meaning of words by definition ; because this 
method of instruction is not at all applicable, until 
the mind has been stored with a good vocabulary of 
words by more simple means. Such means are 
found on every page of reading lessons ; and by the 
aid of a competent teacher, the meaning and appli- 
cation of several thousand words may be easily ac- 
quired. Such preparation will render pupils com- 
petent to study 

THE SPELLER AND DEFINER. 

This book contains between seven and eight 
thousand words, which are classed according to 






VI PREFACE. 



their parts of speech, and according to the number 
of letters or syllables of which they are composed. 
The words are all pronounced and defined ; and, on 
account of their peculiar classification, the defini- 
tions are easily committed to memory, as well as 
tenaciously, remembered. 

This work will render it proper for pupils to lay 
aside their spelling book very early, as here they 
may be employed with far greater advantage. It 
will also be likely to banish the practice of com- 
mitting to memory the Dictionary, a practice ex- 
ceedingly injurious and absurd, and one which, in 
many schools, wastes a large proportion of the 
most valuable time of the pupils. 

As " The Speller and Definer" has been widely 
circulated, and as the demand for it is rapidly in- 
creasing, any further remarks in relation to it is 
deemed unnecessary.

ORTHOGRAPHY. 

Orthography teaches the nature and power of letters, 
and the just method of spelling words. 

LETTERS. 

A letter is the representative of an articulate sound. 

An articulate sound is a sound uttered by the human 
voice, so as to be distinctly understood. 

There are twenty-six letters in the English alphabet, viz. 
a, &, c, &c. 

The letters are divided into vowels and consonants. 

The consonants are subdivided into mutes and semi- 
voiaels. 

The voioels have a full and perfect sound of their own. 

The following are the vowels : viz. «, e, i, o, m, w^ and y. 
W and y are consonants when they begin a word or syl- 
lable. 

The consonants can not be distinctly sounded without the 
aid of a vowel ; as, 5e, ce, eZ, em. 

The mutes can not be sounded at all without the aid of 
a vowel. 

The following are the mutes : viz. h, d, k^ p, f, and c and 
g hard. | 

The semi-vowels have an imperfect sound of themselves. 

The following are the semi-vowels : viz. /, Z, m, «, r, v, s, 
2r, X, and c and g soft. 

Four of the semi- vowels are liquids : viz. Z, m, n, r. They 
are called liquids, because their sound smoothly unites with 
other consonants. 

DIPHTHONGS AND TRIPHTHONGS. 

A diphthong is the union of two vowels in the same 
syllable ; as, ea in beatj oi in void. 

There are two kinds of diphthongs : viz. pure and im- 
pure. 

A pure diphthong is one in which each vowel represents 
its distinct sound ; as, oi in void. 

An impure diphthong is one in which both vowels repre- 
sent but one sounds as, oa in boat. 



APPENDIX. 207 



A triphthong is the union ot three vowels in the same 
syllable ; as, iew in view. 

The explanation, given of the sounds of the letters, in 
pages 37 and 38, is deemed sufficient for the present pur- 
pose. If any person is desirous to obtain a more minute 
knowledge of them, he is referred to Walker*s Dictionary. 



A word is a syllable, or combination of syllables. 

A word of one syllable is termed a monosyllable, 

A w^ord of two syllables is termed a dissyllable. 

A word of three syllables is termed a trisyllable, 

A word of four or more syllables is termed a polysyllable. 

SIMPLE AND COMPOUND WORDS. 

A simple word is one, which can not be divided into two 
entire words ; as, man. 

A compound word is formed of tw^o entire words, which 
make complete sense, when used separately ; as, vnnd-mill ; 
or of an entire word and a particle, called a prefix ; as, dis- 
approve^ inter-vene. 

PREFIXES. 

A prefix^ is a syllable or word prefixed to a word, to form 
another word, of a different meaning; auch as, un, dis, 
pro^ inter. Thus, un^ prefixed to righteous, forms the word 
unrighteous, &lc.
